Bannister removal day

Life has been a bit busy just lately. Last week I had the works bring and share left over party followed the next day by mine and the boys trip to London to see Lord of the Rings. We had the very best seats at the front of the dress circle and I have to say the staging, music, costumes and lighting were all fantastic but either the story just didn't translate well to stage or the acting was off that night but either way it didn't really do much for us. Frodo just became irritating like some bored civil servant asked to work a bit late and run an errand rather than carry a precious world saving or destroying ring!! I am thinking about writing to complain I feel so strongly about it. It was lovely spending time with the boys though, all to myself.

Friday night was spent at Christines with her family and Greg and Sally and PH. It was a lovely night although I did struggle as I was tired but it was lovely sitting in such good company, very relaxed and nice to see Greg tuck the old wine away. On Saturday I went Christmas shopping with Christine and John and included a make over in William and Griffin. It was a lovely christmassy weekend. I bought a dress for the works do on Tuesday and loads of other stuff.

Today I have just pottered and tidied up the Christmas tree while Richard eventually sawed off the bannisters in readiness for next weeks attempted delivery of the sofas.

I am petrified that once again they won't fit and we'll be left with no furniture and me paying an expensive repayment scheme for two years for furniture we can't fit in the house!! As it was I have spent a fortune over the weekend and with more christmasy things to come next week the money is going to be very tight and I have already dipped into the savings!

I'm still hooked on Strictly come dancing and this week little matt did miracles and danced a beautiful walz which had been crying and cheering for him. Now the final will be between him and Aliesha and of course Alisha will win and will deserve to do so. What a lovely competition.
